@Niklas
yes, agreed. I run into this predicament multiple times per day. Interesting that micro payments has been one of the Internet's longest running unsolved problems.

@dangoodin @Niklas There was (at least from my perspective as a reader) a good solution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scroll_(web_service) . Twitter (pre-Elon) chewed them up. But also, some publications decided to keep requiring a paywall and just killed the ads behind said paywall, or maybe the other way around, I forget. It was easily defeated by ad-blockers, regardless. A version that actually paid for reading the site without ads or tracking (at higher expense) would be welcome.
